[GRASS-user] r.infer, r.weight, r.combine vs r.mapcalc

[Moritz Lennert]

Hello,

Looking into the potential of using GRASS for multi-criteria analysis, I 
came upon Peter Löwe's article about r.infer in GRASS News Vol. 3 [1]. 
He also mentions r.weight and r.combine in the article (all from 5.4, 
never ported to 6.x). I'm not sure I completely understand what these 
three can do what r.mapcalc cannot do. Is it only a question of ease of 
usage ?

If they do prove to be of added value, are there any people out there 
who would be interested in reviving these modules ?

Moritz
